Now before you all tell me to RDWHAHB.
All is fine, Its just an observation
Im making a cider since last saturday, its in an ale pail. It is fermenting, i take readings & there is a layer of krausen.
But my question is about CO2. there is no airlock activity AT ALL and the lid is not pushed up. Am I wrong in thinking that co2 pushes oxygen out therefore putting upward pressure on the lid? I've checked that it is sealed fully, it is. As I said its just an observation but it seems odd to me.
